Welcome to the College Cost Calculator page. If you have yet to pick a specific college or university, then simply enter in $20,000 for a private university and $13,000 for an out of state public university in the ‘Current Tuition Price’ field.

Then fill in what you think your average tuition inflation will be, your investment return, the number of years until your child (children) will go to school, how much you have already to invest and how much you will contribute each year.

Warning: The number you are about to see may come as a complete shock, unless you have planned ahead already. If you have not yet established a College Saving Plan, it might be in your best interest to call us at 1-800-480-PLAN for some ideas and solutions before the college dream becomes a complete nightmare.
